i am a big fan of organic india tusli tea! the taste is great and it really makes you feel refreshed! the only reason why i am giving it 4 stars is that the quality of package varies - the fabric used for the bags sometimes breaks, and they still use metal staples for closing the bag. i hope that these problems will be fixed soon because the tea itself is really really great!

It does lower cortisol. Which for many/most people is a good thing.
When my cortisol level drops, I develop tachycardia (rapid heart beat/pulse).
At first, the Tulsi tea was just generally relaxing @1 cup/1 tea bag, around 3 p.m. But then I started noticing late afternoon onset tachycardia, which would last through the evening.
Combining the Tulsi tea with my vitamin C (which also lowers cortisol) worsened the tachycardia (> 130 bpm).
Just a heads-up to others who may have some degree of latter-stage adrenal fatigue.
For those with early-stage AF, generally high cortisol levels, this tea would be absolutely great.
The flavor of Lemon Ginger Tulsi tea is wonderful & warming & I do crave this it just for that flavor alone.

I love all the Tulsi Teas and I also take Holy Basil from New Chapter (New Mark) for stress reduction. This particular flavor has a strong fresh ginger flavor: zing! and zang! The lemon complements the ginger. This flavor is my favorite flavor hot in the Winter months, when I am sick, and it is also my flavor to ice in the summer. I also like the original flavor and Pomegranate Green and Raspberry Peach.
